I can't find Richard in the 1870 census (he's not with Nancy), so I wonder if his death date is correct?

Marriage-1: ca. 1815; ended in divorce

Wife-1: Rebecca __?__
Birth: 1795, Pendleton Dist. [now Pickens Co.], SC

Birth: 1834/5, NC
Death: 3 Nov 1914, Floyd Co., GA
Occupation: homemaker

Children with Rebecca:

— born in SC, presumably in Pendleton Dist. [now Pickens Co.], SC:
1. James CORBIN, b. 1817/8
2. Nelson Hester CORBIN, b. 1819/20 or May 1818
3. Charlotte CORBIN, b. 6 Mar 1821
4. Martin CORBIN, b. 1821/2

— born in GA, presumably in Habersham Co., GA:
5. Edley D. CORBIN, b. 1822/3
6. Samuel CORBIN, b. 1825/6
7. (Son A) CORBIN, b. 1825-30
8. (Son B) CORBIN, b. 1830-35
9. (Son C) CORBIN, b. 1830-35
10. Emanuel CORBIN, b. 1837/8
11. R. Jane CORBIN, b. 1840/1

Children with Nancy A. YEARNEST — born in Gilmer Co., GA:

12. Mary A. CORBIN, b. 1858/9
13. Peter R. CORBIN, b. ca. May 1861
14. (Child) CORBIN, b. ca. 1863; d. by 1870
15. Margarett Charlotte CORBIN, b. 1864/5
16. Etha / Ethal / Ethel "Eddy" C. CORBIN, b. 1866/7
17. Ellura / Elleura / Lula Frances CORBIN, b. 1868/9 or May 1870
18? (Child) CORBIN, died young

Nancy states in the 1900 and 1910 censuses that she had seven children. The only way I can see to fit in a seventh child is for there to have been a twin who died or that Nancy was pregnant when Richard died.
